In Conversation with the Wickedly Popular Kristin Chenoweth

“There is a misconception here about me that I was just Miss Popular, and everything was beautiful and flowers and rainbows and unicorns for me growing up. That I was Glinda, there’s that misconception. I was actually more, believe it or not, like Elphaba.”

Beltline to Broadway Launches Social Network

In 2021, Beltline to Broadway (then RDU on Stage) earned the Raleigh Medal of Arts.

“When the COVID-19 pandemic caused theaters everywhere to close their physical doors, Beltline to Broadway (formerly RDU On Stage) became a virtual home where individuals of any race, identity or background could meet, drop by, talk, share, learn and receive sources of help.”

Judy Dove, North Carolina Theatre Conference

In that same spirit of solidarity, Beltline to Broadway has launched its own online community to engage in conversation and, hopefully, provide some support during these trying times.
